# Step 3. Add Your Model

At the bottom of the model list click on "Add a model". Get the exact model name from the PHOENIQS Active Models list. For example:

inference-apertus-70b
inference-gpt-oss-120b
inference-glm5

Recommended: Use inference-glm5 for the best Cursor experience. GLM 5 is optimized for agentic engineering and long-horizon coding, and is the only model that fully supports Agent, Chat, and Plan modes in Cursor.

Paste the name into Cursor and enable the toggle for the newly added model.
